The governments seem happy to continue the agreement, despite the mounting evidence that fluoride lowers intelligence, increases the risk of cancer, and gravely harms public health.

We have it in america and it's here to stay. Forced me to bottled water decades ago and i never allow it in my toothpaste.

Whereas the Europeans have mostly banished it from theirs, except Ireland,

which is only now coming around to the notion of removing it. Better late than never, for sure.

Well and good, but you still might want to have your well water tested. Naturally occurring fluoride could be occurring at higher than government mandated rates thru mineral deposits and industrial pollution, according to wikipedia, tho it does make me wonder how industrial pollution is naturally occurring?

I'd never heard of naturally occurring fluoride before. The well had to be tested when we bought the house and the results are around here somewhere. I will post again when I find them. The one thing we were warned about but shouldn't be an issue, is that there is a landfill nearby. But we are upstream from it and the city has ground monitors in place that they check regularly.

*** I looked for over an hour and couldn't find the paper with the breakdown of what is in the water. I did find a piece of paper that stated that all levels were well within acceptable range. We run all drinking water through a Brita filter also.
